Dorothy Dinnerstein  

Definición

  • Dorothy Dinnerstein (1923–92) was an American feminist scholar and activist whose best-known study The Mermaid and the Minotaur: Sexual Arrangements and Human Malaise (1976) argues that, because child rearing is an essentially female occupation, it is responsible for the creation and the maintenance of gender inequalities. Thus, Dinnerstein viewed the unbalanced responsibility between genders in parenting not simply as a symptom of social oppression of women, but as the very cause that continued to perpetrate such oppression.
